Denial of Disaster
- Used Book in Good Condition
"The motion of the quake was like the waves of the ocean about twenty feet between crests, but they came swifter and choppy, with a kind of grinding noise." The running dispute between Geraral Funston and Mayor Schmitz over "who was in charge" goes on for the duration of the disaster. Thousands of helpless, trapped victims die in the rubble of shabby South-of-Market rooming houses when fires sweep the area. Navy personnel fight to save the waterfront from flames. This is the untold story and photographs of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. By Gladys Hansen and Emmet Condon.
